What happens during a treatment?
After an initial consultation the shape and colour of your treatment is agreed on between the client and the technician and the pigment is placed in the skin accordingly. the whole process for one area takes about 1 hour (but please allow 2 hours).
The treatment is painless as a topical numbing agent is used throughout the treatment.
How long will the effects last?
Some pigment will remain in the skin permanently but will gradually fade over time. It varies from client to client but generally last 3 to 5 years. we recommend a colour boost within 2 years to maintain freshness.
How soon can i go out?
You can go about your daily routine immediately, but some clients experience swelling and redness which normally subsides within 48 hours. please be aware that the colour will be approximately 40% darker and the area dry and flaky for 3 to 7 days after the treatment.
Is there any chance of infection?
The strictest sterilisation procedures are adhered to at all times. A new single use disposable sterile needle is used for your complete safety. All procedures conform to the British and European Health and Safety standards. Lip treatments may occasionally cause a cold sore. clients that are prone to an outbreak should use a topical treatment for a few days prior to a lip treatment.
What about allergic reaction?
Tattoo pigments have been used for thousands of years and reactions are very rare. the pigments used are of the highest grade and are hypoallergenic. However we do always advise a patch test.
